Multi-Genre Research Reports



What is a Multigenre (MG) report?



According to Tom Romano, "A multigenre paper arises from research, experience, and imagination. It is not an uninterrupted, expository monologue nor a seamless


narrative nor a collection of poems. A multigenre paper is composed of many genres and subgenres, each piece self-contained, making a point of its own, yet connected


by theme or topic and sometimes by language, images, and content. In addition to many genres, a multigenre paper may also contain many voices, not just the author`s.


The trick is to make such a paper hang together."
